To backup FotoFusion projects, you will need to archive the project, then restore it on the new computer.

Archiving creates a .scrappackage file, which contains the project recipe, images and fonts. This method is preferred for transferring a few individual projects, not a repository of projects made over years.

Archive and Restore

To archive a project:

Open the project via File> Open

Once it is open, choose File > Archive/Restore > Archive

Choose a folder where the archive file will be created. The default folder is Documents/My Projects/My Archived Collages or Documents/My Collages/My Archived Collages, but you can choose any folder you need.

A .scrappackage file will be created on your system, ready to move.

To restore a project:

Transfer the .scrappackage file to the new computer.

Select File > Archive/Restore > Restore

Point to the .scrappackage file and open it. (In this example, the file was moved to the Downloads folder.)

The project will unpack itself, prompting you to select a location for the photos & fonts. The default location is Documents/My Projects/Archive Photos or Documents/My Collages/Archive Photos, but you can choose any folder you need.

Bulk Moving .scrap files

If you have a large number of projects to move to a new computer, backing up all the source files manually is far quicker than creating individual archives.
